- TV & Film
Let's bite into some magical fruit and recap the One Piece anime, a Japanese TV saga that has been running for more than 25 years.Philip has heard rumours of the diva, Nico Robin, who can multiply her arms to kill people in battles and is intrigued. Harry has read the manga and watched the anime and is cringing at the thought of starting a podcast recapping the series from Season 1, Episode 1. Join us on our condensed odyssey of the bizarre, queer and silly world of pirates who are bestowed supernatural powers by eating magical fruit.

Episode 10: The Bechamel Duels
Episodes 101-130: Choose your fighter as each character pairs up to defeat the real main cast of the show, the Baroque Works. We pay respects to motion design, a-typical character traits and Nico Robin. Her disembodied, limp-wristed hands hold back armies, invoke nightmares, dreams (ours) and steal the show.

Episode 9: Gorge-ous Villains
Ep 93-103: After surviving the wrath of Mother Nature after being lost in a gorge, our resolve has been fortified and we face the heavily trodden trope of queer-coded villains with renewed zeal. While these episodes are over 20 years old, we are yet able find redemption in the queer and pathologically unhinged Baroque Works collective. And come across an oasis in the middle of the Arabian desert which gives us hope that cultural appropriation can be nice, kind of? Also, Mariah Carey???

Episode 8: Flop Flop Devil Fruit
Eps 68-90: We ate the flop flop devil fruit and it gave us the special power of having low energy while recording this episode. We actually do some editing in this episode to try and cover up the flop. Does it work? Maybe. But if Oda is allowed entire seasons of filler episodes, we're allowed a filler episode too.

Episode 5: God is a Woman
In news that will surprise no one, we spend most of the episode talking about our beloved, bussin female characters because they're the only ones who matter. It's all about Nami but has anyone actually asked her how she is? We also observe profound beauty in these episodes and in a shocking podcast development, we cry (off-camera).
